| Synopsis: |
A games book for parents, teachers, home-schooling families, childcare workers, Cub Scout leaders, and anyone else who supervises or entertains groups of children. The book contains 335 activities, and is divided into three main sections: physical and mental, life skill, and educational. The physical and mental games are for fun and fitness, and can be enjoyed at birthday parties, holiday care centres and in the school playground. The life skill games are especially aimed at Cub and Brownie Leaders, and include map and compass reading, knotting, first aid, home safety and outdoor cooking. The educational games include fun activities in maths, English, science, history, geography, foreign languages, art and music. Teachers and home-schooling families will find this section instructive, stimulating and very unusual. The games are suitable for 7 to 17 year olds, and some of the activities will stretch the minds of even the cleverest teenagers. |
